Warrens Park

The estate of WARRENS in this parish probably takes its name from the family of Warren who held property here as early as the beginning of the 17th century [Hoare, History of Wiltshire]. Simon Warren of Bramshaw in 1639 left all his estates in Bramshaw to his grandson Edmund Warren, who in 1670 asserted his claim before the justice seat held at Lyndhurst to one messuage and 24 acres of land in Bramshaw, parcel of the manor of Moore Closes [Abstract of Claims]. Edmund Warren, probably son of the latter, who inherited the estate, left it subject to a life interest on his wife to his cousin William Warren, whose son succeeded and in 1746 sold it to Samuel Young of Morecroft, near Romsey. The property passed in 1756 to his son William Young, who sold it in 1789 to Samuel Orr. From him it was purchased in 1798 by Mr. George Eyre [Hoare, History of Wiltshire], who added to the property and built the large mansion which is the present seat of his grandson Mr. George Edward Briscoe Eyre.
